Has anyone else been watching this? Seems like Nom Nom has the best business sense out of all the contestants. They will be hurting when they show up in a city that doesn't care about Vietnamese sandwiches, though. San Diego and Austin are pretty good places to sell them but not sure how it will go over in Baltimore.

We have been watching it. They are coming to Ft Worth next. Wish I would have known I would have gone out there for them. DARNIT!!!!! I'd be going to see the sandwich guys I've seen the grill'em guys on another food network or something like it channel recently. The Nom Nom truck not doing the challenges could come back to bit them. They are going to have to do them or they could get knocked out. While I LOOOOOVE cajun food and theirs looked really good, that dude was driving me crazy w/ Ragin Cagun. The first thought in my head when they were announced the truck that was going home: GOOD! I don't have to hear that blasted whistle anymore.

I have been enjoying this show. I am not sure how the French guys are still in the race. Agreee with above poster about the Ragin Cajun being annoying.

I agree about the French guys. They are going to hit a city that just won't be into fancy french cuisine, especially from a truck! I'm surprised they lasted this long. I would have thought the Cajun food would have been more popular.

That one got me as well. I think what saved the French truck this week was they bought their supplies wholesale from a restaurant. They were able to buy more and sell more. Everyone else went to a regular grocery store which was odd. In San Diego they were at Restaurant Depot (LOOOOVE that place). The French guys also seemed to look DEAD the entire time. If the Cajun truck had been in a better location from the get go I think they would have made it thru, whistle and all.

What the heck is the Food Networks affinity with cupcakes and food trucks? Goodness gracious, can we have a show about where I don't have to listen to some Northern Californian yelling "Triple D" which causes my cat to hyperventilate because she thinks were going to Dairy Queen (hey, she's a cat - she can't spell).

The Food Channel is just stupid. We don't make cupcakes in my house and we damn sure don't eat at food trucks. We gather at the table like good South Texas folk and wonder what would Jerry Springer do.

Actually, we don't. But I wanted to present a scenario as stupid as the Food Network.

Awhile back on the Travel channel it had a show about food trucks. The big area they were "coming out" was in MN. Can ya believe it? At any rate they were becoming a huge success with more vendors getting trucks to sell to the MN crowds. Lunch and dinner times.

I think FoodNetwork got wind of it and birthed this new show.

The concept is awesome for areas that don't have an abundance of food choices. More midwest areas need to grab onto the food truck concept.

Ragin Cajun's front guy was their down fall I think.

My favorites are Nom Nom and least favorite is the french food truck. Seems kind of odd buying escargot from a truck, huh?
